Saint Lucia will receive US$30 million in concessional financing from the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), along with an additional US$1.791 million grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
[pdf] At its core, the system combines solar photovoltaic arrays with a flow battery storage setup that could power 15,000 homes. But here's the kicker—they're using retired EV batteries from Europe, giving old power packs new purpose under the African sun [1].
[pdf] 100 massive concrete blocks, each weighing as much as 10 adult elephants, dancing to the rhythm of Paraguay's electricity demand. This isn't a sci-fi movie plot - it's the revolutionary Asuncion 100 gravity energy storage project currently under construction.
[pdf] OÜ Prategli Invest is building a solar energy storage device in Tallinn, where it will store energy from a solar farm production plant located on the roof of a warehouse complex. The project received a grant of EUR 273,500. Two projects will begin to store both solar and wind energy.
[pdf] Baud Resources, an IIT Kanpur incubated deep-tech startup, has developed a novel approach to gravity-based energy storage that operates on gravitational potential energy without the need for water, dams or hills, unlike pumped hydro storage.
[pdf] The Austrian energy company SolarCont has developed a mobile solar container that stores foldable photovoltaic panels for portable green energy anywhere.
